Intriguing idea. How broad do you see this being? POI plus the long-lost sibling projects (like the Cocoon serializers)? Other Apache projects (Batik?) Concentrating on MS Office formats, or would this be a place for other Java-based office-like parsers (OpenOffice, SmartSuite, Corel) to hang out? Is there any synergy by having all these projects under one umbrella, such as internal reuse? Obviously, we can share core code for CDF. Anything else? Can you paint a mental picture of what you would want this to look like in 18 months? -Rob
